How I'm dealing with the grief of change — even changes to come and finding joy in quiet moments

So wonderful to be back! And first, MANY THANKS for the gifts and letters that many of you sent to me! I have been a bit behind in going to the post office and so I was so touched when I finally picked up my mail!!!! Well, summer has only just begun, but these weeks have been busy. In between travel and work obligations I finally made a primitive shelter for my bee skeps. There is an old tradition of telling the bees of what's happening in the household — especially when there has been a death — and I had a lot to tell mine. Yes, there have been some losses here at the farm. More on the in our time together. But as I was making my bee shelter, I realized what had been weighing me down for so long. I realized I have been carrying around what experts call "anticipated grief." Yes, I have been fearing tomorrow, expecting the worse, weighting for the other shoe to drop. That is not a way to live. And so, I invite you to join me as I share with you a bit of an old folk tradition of talking to bees and how I have found talking (and praying) through the fear to be healing. What are your ways of coping with a changing world and ridding yourself of the fear of tomorrow? Comment, like and share this time together with others! Blessings to you!
